A VW w/ a VR6- that can't handle w/ the stock suspension at all!

A good set of aftermarket suspension components will fix that! (Progress currently makes a set for a B18 swap into the older civic; maybe they'll do one for this, if it becomes popular) Or you could go the cheap way & pull the F. sway bar & put a stiffer R. sway bar.

The K24 has the same RPM range as the K20A3 so its not that bad. But I would rather look into getting a TSX K24 that has Vtec and get a hondadata to flash to help that out.

why not be like the guy on the first page, andput the k20a2 head on the k24? and all k24's have i-vtec, including the cr-v ones.

Even though it will bolt directly into the EP, and I know because I have one in my EP, it does not go in the Sedan and Coupe with our mount kit. The K24 uses a different bracket on the passenger side of the motor. We will have to make a different passenger's side mount to mount it in with our kit.

The K24 engine will actually become far more common place than the K20s because they not only come in the CRV, but will be in the TSX, Element, and of course the ever popular Accord. I believe there will be 300,000+ cars with K24s by years end on the road.

The future is bright.

so the k24 already has an i-vtec head... and I'm guessing it's got the k20a3 version of it which only has the third lobe on the intake side or something like that...

That depends, the Accord, CRV and Element are like the Civic Si's VTEC. The TSX has VTEC like an RSX Type S. The all have K24A blocks.

brian, will hasport ever make a mount kit that doesn't require the subframe?

if not, will the accord/crv/tsx subframe be compatible like the EP/RSX's subframes?
and will anybody be making an aftermarket subframe?

Not Likely, to do the swap without the subframe would require redesigned and much more expensive front and rear mounts and a custom header.

Call Honda and check the part numbers for the subframes on the RSX, Civic Si, Accord, CRV and TSX. See if any of them mattch. If they are not the same, you will have to wait until I get some and check to see if they interchange. Maybe over the next 6 months I will be able to get to it.
